You wear your seat belt 1 That stops you changing lanes Your keeping good health That stops you changing that stops you changing That stops you changing lanes Your making good time That stops you changing lanes You take a straight line That stops you changing that stops you changing Your moving so fast cause your going somewhere You’ve got a grey suit with neat cropped hair Black leather shoes and a matching coat A big black car and a bigger black boat That stops you changing lanes 2 You wear your seat belt That stops you changing lanes Your keeping good health That stops you changing that stops you changing Your moving so fast cause your going somewhere You’ve got a grey suit with neat cropped hair Black leather shoes and a matching coat A big black car and a bigger black boat The mould is made and the die is cast You know the first love will never last Trade the old for something new A trophy that will shine for you

I hear the voices but there's no one there, You speak to me in another language. Computer says it's a binary code, It's just a pity I can't understand it. It's not me talking, It's not me talking. I see a ship from a golden sky, I sent a message. Will they understand it? Computer's ready but to overload, This isn't happening the way I planned it. It's not me talking, It's not me talking, It's not me talking, It's not me talking. (so send a messenger) It's not me talking, It's not me talking. . You got me talking, talking, Talking, talking. You got me talking, talking, Talking, talking. You got me talking, You got me talking, talking, Talking, talking.
